There are 4-5 match winners, and they are in their prime form, so, from a batting perspective, I feel the Indian team is in a better position,” stated Bangar on Star Sports present ‘Cricket Live’.

“If you look at the bowling part, obviously, they have the speed, they always had that, but the Indian team has the skill in the sense that if Deepak Chahar is fit in place of Jasprit Bumrah, you can clearly see his ability to swing the ball upfront. Also, Arshdeep Singh is our own version of a left-hander we were searching for. So, he’s somebody who can swing the ball both ways. I feel that the Indian team is lacking in the speed department, but they more than make up with the skill they possess,” added Bangar.
